The popular Facebook group Singapore Expat Women or SEW as it’s passionately referred to by its members has now reached a milestone of over 10,000 members. It’s sister Classifieds Page (of same name) has over 7,000 members.

The internet can be a mean place sometimes and I know for a fact that it’s not easy for newcomers to Singapore to get the help and information they need for a successful transition. But now they can.

Life is tough enough as it is… surely sharing information and getting advice shouldn’t have to be.
